Meals are served in the main restaurant on Middle Deck. The room, located all the way at the back of the ship, features oversized picture windows that attractively wrap around and offer 180-degree views of the passing scenery. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served here.
Breakfasts and lunches onboard are served buffet-style, and come with complimentary water, coffee or tea.
Dinners are menu-driven affairs, with a set starter, choice of one of three entrees and a choice of two desserts -- typically, a daily specialty or a fruit plate. Selections for the following day are made the night before. Unlike other river cruise lines that include free-flowing wines with lunch and dinner, only one glass of wine is offered each evening at dinner. Additional glasses of wine can be purchased at prevailing bar prices. A glass of juice is also free at dinner for those who don't partake in wine.
Dinners in Moscow and St. Petersburg are set menus with no alternates.
A coffee station is provided onboard and is open from 6 a.m. until breakfast, 10 a.m. until noon, 4 until 6 p.m. and from 9 until 11 p.m. The coffee station includes caffeinated and decaf coffee, hot water for tea, cocoa, sweetener and cookies.
One bottle of still water (330ml, or 11.1 fl. oz.) is provided daily in each cabin.
